FOB OUR YOUNG FOLKS
sYzENTERES.

Did you ever hear OF the place, my dears,
That is called the country Of Syzenteres:
Where the children whine, and the babies cEy;
And even the grown folks droop and sigh!
Their faces are long with look Of dread,
Their eyes are moist, and their noses red;
For the trials and troubles, and doubts and fears
Are the commonest things in Syzenteres.
Whenever the day is bright and warm,
They frown and say: Look out for storm"
Whenever it happens to rain or snow
They grumble and say it's always 20.
They eat their fruit when it's green and small,
For fear 1t should blight, or wither and fall,
For people will shut their eyes and ears
To omens of good in Syzenteres.
The children cry when they're asked to tea,
For fear they should fail to 60, you see;
Then they're kept ut home because they CRY,
And they feel that the world Is all awry.
II you give them doll or plaything gay,
They cry for fear it will break some day;
And it will full soon, for doubts and fears,
Make all things brittle in Syzenteres.
This land Is not very far away,
And you may be wanted there some day
II you pout and whine, and whimper and tease,
Whenever you can not do as you please.
Just put on smiling face and see
How happy and bright the world can be,
And never consent to live, my dears,
In the sorrowful state of Syzentcres

The Happiest Boy.

Who is the happiest boy you know?
Who has "the best timer" mean the
one who last winter had the biggest
toboggan, or who now has the most
marbles. or wears the best clothes2
Let's see.
Once there was King who had a
little boy whom he loved. He gave
him beautiful rooms to live in, and pic
lures and toys and books. He gave
him pony to ride. and a row-boat on
lake, and servants. He provided
teachers who were to give him knowl-
edge that would make him good and
great But for all this the young
Prince was not happy. He wore a
frown wherever he went. and was ais
ways wishing for some thing he did not
have. At length. one day. a magician
came to court He saw the boy and
said to the King:
II can make your son happy. But
you must pay me my own price for
telling the secret
WELL" said the King, "what you
ask l will give"
So the magician took the boy into a
private room. He wrote something
with white substance on Il piece of
paper. Next he gave the boy candle.
and told him to light it and hold it UNI
der the paper. and then see what he
could read. Then he went away and
asked no price at all. The boy did as
he had been told, and the white letters
on the paper turned into a beautiful
blue. They formed these words:
.'Do a kindness to some one every
day."
The Prince made use of the secret,
and became the happiest boy in the
kingdom.-OurSunday afternoon.

when a child first begins to do wrong,
especially When he means and plans
to do it. it is almost next to impossible
to get back into the right path again.
And the truth is, that young man, when

mind after havinga long. happy vac~

nor behave we'll in school. So he would

fond kiss on his cheek; then he would
enter the school room and eat peanuts

teacher wasn't looking he would do a
great many things to make the other
children laugh. and finally he acted SO
badly that the teacher had to send him

amazement ut the outcome of the little
story got the better of her usual habit
of shielding Tommy's faults.
Poor Tommy! His face had been
growing very red. his chest was SWELL
ing and his breath coming very quickly
at the last part of the story. but when
his papa slowly lowered his paper from
his face. and said in surprised.
grieved tone: "Why, my little son!'
it was altogether too much. Down
went Tommy's fair little head into his
mammals lap. and for few minutes
the sound of his crying was all that
was heard in the room.
Susie was all pity and repentance,
and tried her best to tell how sorry she
was that she had ''told on him." But
after time Tommy's sobs ceased and
he became very quiet. Papa and MANI
ma began talking about some other
little matters, then mamma said it was
bedtime. At this. Tommy raised his
head and said, in low. resolute voice:
I'm just a-goin' back to school
Monday morning to be the best boy

to have any home and no friends, or not
to know how to do things real proper. I
really did mean to be bad boy for
little while. but if it's so hard to get
good again, just amt goin' to make
my papa and mamma 'shamed and

And Tommy went back to school
with such good resolutions that one
day, when the teacher met his mamma,
he said Tommy was one of his best
scholars, and if he went on as he had
begun he would soon be ut the head of
his division.

to be, for no matter how virulcnt the

Curious, isn't it, that a boat load of
people, who have, with their clothing
and baggage. been subjected or ex-
posed to cholera or yellow fever or
smallpox, can land passengers and
baggage and freight all of which have
carried the germs of disease, and dis
tribute them all over the country and
in the thickly-crowded cities. and no
evil results follow?

it will not seem so strange then.

| MarvelS OF Workmanship Revealed BY
Recent Excavations.
An undertaking has been begun
which ought to yield results of special
interest. This is the removal of sand
from round the sphinx. The sphinx
occupies position where the encroach-
ment Of the desert is most conpicu-
Gus. At the present day nothing is to
be seen of the animal except its head
and its neck; but the old Egyptian
monuments on which it is figured
show not only the entire body down
to the paws. but also a large square
plinth beneath. covered with orna-
ments. Since the time of the Greeks.
perhaps. even since the reign of George
w.. this plinth has disappeared be-
meath the sand and its very existence
had been forgotten.
1t is generally supposed that the
sphinx is hewn out of large. isolated
rock which overlooked the plain; but
NJ Maspero's researches suggest that it
is work still more stupendous. He
has proved that the sphinx occupies
the center of an amphitheater. forming
kind of rocky basin. the upper rim
of which is about on i level with the
head of the animal The walls of this
amphitheater. whenever visible. are
cut by the hand of man. 1t seems
probable, therefore, that in the begin
ming there was a uniform surface of
rock. in which an artificial valley has
been excavated. so as to leave in the
middle block out of which the sphinx
was finally hewn. The excavations
now being carried on will doubtless
verify the existence of the plinth shown
on the old paintings, and also furnish
evidence. by the ornamentatiOn of the
plinth, of the true age of the monu-
ment. NJ. Maspero is inclined to
assign it to very great antiquity
possibly higher than the early dynas-
ties. e.. than the first period Of
Egyptian history. As the result Of
last winters work. the sand round the
sphinx has already been lowered by

TRUE MORALITY.

The Gospel Standard-The Nature and Ex-
te~t of Our Obligations to Our Fellow
Men.
One of Webster's definitions of NOR
-ality is: 1.-The duties of men in their
:social relations" He is a moral man.
so far rs this life is concerned. who
meets all his obligations to his fellow
amen. But Il question at once arises as
tto The nature and extent of these obi
cations. Are they negative only?
Does he discharge his duty to society
who merely refrains from injuring
Others. This is common idea, but a
very erroneous one. Society has 4
claim upon every member of it for all
that he can do to promote his welfare.
The Gospel standard of morality is:
'''Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
self" And this means. not as we do,
out as we should love ourselves. If a
